Ramp It Up! Amir Zaki Captures Quiet California Skateparks

August 20, 2019 - LeVar Thomas

Though I’m a spectator, the ramps at some skate parks look really exciting. I would imagine that goes double for skaters that brave those loops, ramps, rails and outcrops for a chance at glory. They likely imagine the possibilities that each ramp provides, which is a testament to the architects who make them.Photographer Amir Zaki must agree, and set out to document some elaborate architecture in the skateparks of California. Documenting the parks for California Concrete, Zaki beat skaters to the parks on early mornings to capture the sports monuments.
